Timelines – Chapter One – Page 45

This page broke me a little. That look on El’s face as she holds up her old passport—like she’s trying to convince the world she still belongs to herself.

I’ve felt that dread too. The fear that people will decide you don’t fit—that they’ll say no, send you back, judge you for a body you didn’t plan but carry anyway. But no one said a thing. Just a stamp.

And that quiet hotel welcome? That sweet hand squeeze? It was everything.

Word and mood of the day 🙌🏻 I usually avoid clothes shopping because I feel like the Julia Roberts of big girls and that at any moment they’re going to kick me out for not being skinny or pretty enough. Plus, looking at my body in highly fluorescent lighting is my idea of a nightmare. But today I refused to let the fact that my body doesn’t look the way I one day want it to look stop me. Because in order to have any hope of change, I have to accept that I’m okay the way I am. I have to know that even if I never change, I deserve nice clothes and kind words and I deserve to feel beautiful, even when I can’t see that I am. Body image is talked about so often these days but so many women still suffer the consequences of negative body image. We have to realise; being kind to your body isn’t just about breaking bad habits. It’s about breaking the cycle of negative feedback and self loathing 💕 #bodyimagestuff #plussizefeels #acceptance #moodofthedayisbrave https://www.instagram.com/p/By623bDFjJs/?igshid=1xgqj1ahuw26u
